we expect the manchin-toomey background check compromise to go down. we're hearing one senator after the other who'd been on the fence saying they're opposed to it. so if anybody thought there was a post-boston moment where causes that were moving and had some push from the white house were going to get people to pull together behind them, that is not taking place on that issue. however, on the issue of immigration, i think there is a widespread expectation -- we'll wait and see if that's borne out -- that that is an issue moving down the track. whether it's interrupted temporarily by security concerns or not. and remember, the details of this bill are being rolled out this week. they've been negotiated by eight senators from both parties. we don't expect action until may/june on those issues anyway. this is only a bump in the road for that. >> a good point, john. thank you. thanks to amin as well. if you're coming to the new, again federal officials telling nbc they believe they knew who sent these letter, suspicious letters to the president and some

and they say to every business in the state, as senator manchin here, who was governor of west virginia, they say to every business in the state, every sale that you make over the counter, collect sales tax for west virginia, for tennessee or in the state of illinois. of course, those merchants understand their legal responsibility, their civic responsibility and collect the sales tax, remitting that amount back to the state. the problem they've run into now is what's known as show rooming, where a customer shows up -- and i've seen, at least i've talked to owners who described it to me -- and takes a look at running shoes at chris cooze running shop in normal, illinois, and says these look good but do you have a different color. they get another box of shoes, bring them in. they try them on and say 10 1/2 that fits great. you have a wider one? yeah. that's perfect. that's the shoe i want. let me write down the information about the shoe. and they turn around and go home and order the shoe on the internet. well, the local merchant who did all the work and who displayed the merchandise,

then president obama declared the u.s. capitol janitors were getting a pay cut, but on further examination, that proved not to be true. customs and border protection initially told their employees, border agents, that they might be furloughed. however, a month into the sequester, customs and border protection walked back that claim and decided to make better use of departmental resources. the director of the national park service said that the sequester might lead to cancellation of washington, d.c.'s cherry blossom festival, but as all the visitors who flocked to d.c. could tell you, the festival went on as planned and the washington metro reported one of the highest ridership days in its history. with all of these bogus claims, it seems that the administration is desperate to prove that it wasn't crying wolf after all. for example, we're learning that the federal aviation administration is now deliberately engineering flight delays, deliberately engineering flight delays just as families gear up for their summer travel.
